Sea-Dog 304 Stainless Steel Pad Eye Tie-Down Mount
Sea-Dog 304 Stainless Steel Pad Eye Tie-Down Mount — Product description
This Sea-Dog pad eye gives you a solid, corrosion-resistant tie-down point anywhere you need to anchor a line, strap, or bungee on deck. It's made from 304 stainless steel with a 3/8 by 1/2 inch eye, so it shrugs off salt spray and sun season after season.
A pad eye is one of those small bits of hardware you don't think about until you need one, and then you need it in a hurry. This Sea-Dog pad eye bolts to the deck, a bulkhead, or a transom and gives you a fixed loop to clip into. Run a tie-down strap over a cooler. Snap a fender line to it. Secure a kayak, a fuel can, or a cargo net for the run offshore.
It's made from 304 stainless steel, so salt spray and UV won't chew it up the way plated steel does. The eye opening measures 3/8 by 1/2 inch, which takes most snap hooks, shackles, and smaller line sizes comfortably. The fitting sits close to the surface, so there's nothing to catch a toe or a line on.
This one's sold as a single piece. If you're rigging multiple tie-down points, which most of us end up doing, order the count you need. Mount it with stainless fasteners through the base and you're set.

Frequently asked questions
What's this pad eye made of?
304 stainless steel. That's the grade you want for marine use. It holds up to salt spray and UV far better than plated or mild steel.
How big is the eye opening?
The eye measures 3/8 by 1/2 inch. That's enough room for most snap hooks, small shackles, and smaller diameter line.
What can I use it for?
Anything you need to tie down or clip to. Cooler straps, fender lines, kayak and cargo tie-downs, bungee anchor points. Bolt it wherever you want a fixed loop.
Does it come with mounting hardware?
No, it's sold as the pad eye on its own. Pick up stainless fasteners sized for your deck thickness and you're good to go.
Is one enough or do I need more?
This is a single pad eye. Most rigging jobs use two or more, so order the count that matches the tie-down points you're planning.
